π©πͺ Pilgrimage to Trier - The Serene Hometown of the Great Mentor πΉ
Trier, the birthplace of the great mentor Karl Marx, is a UNESCO World Heritage site brimming with ancient relics. For me, Trier was a must-visit destination! As someone currently researching the Sinicization of Marxism, and who even adopted "Carl Marx" as my English name during doctoral studies, this journey held special significance. π Highlights of My Pilgrimage: The grand Marx statue gifted by China, standing proudly in the city center The magnificent Electoral Cathedral The splendid Electoral Palace with its Baroque gardens Marx's Birthplace - "Exploring the Red Holy Land" The charming Old Town Square ποΈ A City Steeped in History: As Germany's oldest city (founded in 16 BC), Trier served as: β The residence of Western Caesar during Rome's Tetrarchy β Constantine the Great's imperial seat (once called "Second Rome") β The capital of the Prince-Archbishop-Elector of Trier (one of Germany's seven electors) The city preserves remarkable monuments from: β Ancient Roman times ποΈ β Medieval period βͺ β Early modern era π° (Designated UNESCO World Heritage in 1986) #WorldHeritage #CulturalTreasures #MarxistPilgrimage #HistoricGermany #ArchitectureLovers #TravelWithPurpose βοΈπ
